Re: Which Driver Has the Most to Prove in 2015
a) History has shown us that no one has turned around a 71 point deficit. Unless you can prove me wrong. Wait, so now I have the power to change history? If I provide the proof, only then it happened, and if I don't provide the proof then it didn't? I don't think it works that way. b) From the samp...

I think Rosberg can be the better driver but isn't consistent enough. On his great days he is almost unbeatable but he doesn't do it often enough. Hamilton is a better racer.pubpokerplayer wrote:Does anyone believe Rosberg is the better driver or are you just playing tit for tat to be annoying?

What's depressing is a 40 second gap to third place and 5th place on being lapped. New regs should push everyone together and then development should be where advantage comes from. New regs have never pushed teams together. They've more often than not led to one team getting it very right and the r...

Re: Turbo Engines in high altitudes
Since the turbo would need to work harder to stuff the same amount of air in at a high altitude would it not affect heat generated. Surely if it is working harder it will need more aggressive cooling. Oh and probably a bit of turbo lag too I would think.
